Health of Nation’s Carrier System Is Vital to Continued Progress

Problems of Rails Affect Millions: Remedies Are Sought. This is the first of a series of throe stories on the ills and problems of the gigantic rail industry of the United States. Proposed remedies for past and present conditions suggested bv President Roosevelt are discussed and explained in this and following articles. BY MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, April 24. A surgeon—not a “czar”—is what the American railroads are getting under President Roosevelt's plan for a federal co-ordinator. Much excess weight is likely to disappear, amid agony and howling. To banish fatty degeneration is always painful. Ask any beautician. But the hope is that a lean, hardy convalescent will emerge from under the government’s saw, scalpel and ether-cone. If America's rail transportation system is eventually able to sit up, take nourishment and go back to work, the President's purpose will have been achieved. It will be a fundamental achievement, too. To find a cure for the sick railroads has long been among the top memos on the President's desk. Is the railroad system chronically invalid? Why try to cure this disagreeable patient? Why not let him shuffle off his mortal coil in the horrid sickroom atmosphere with which he has surrounded himself these last few years? Why try to pump new life into him? Why not turn to the open road—the motor bus and the long-distance truck with trailer? Or to the pleasant inland waterways; and the sea and the air, not to mention the pipe line? Rails Largest Carriers In the first place, the railroads are far too big to junk. They hold too large a stake in the national economy. And they still have important uses. Railroads, don’t forget, still furnish 75 per cent of American transportation. Railroads in 1930 carried freight of total estimated value of $62,000,000,000. Railroad service still is bought or used literally by every American; either directly, or in buying food, clothes, gasoline, coal, other essentials. America as a unit pays the railroad freight. Railroads still affect an enormous number of Americans even moreydirectly than this. As workers, for instance. Wages, which use up half the railroad revenues, go this year to about 1,000.000 workers, thus supporting a much larger number of people. The number of workers employed has shrunk greatly since 1928, when the total was around 1,700,000. In 1926 it was 1,800,000. Buying Power Great The actual pay roll of the roads does not begin to fill the quota of labor directly dependent upon them. Huge numbers more are employed furnishing railroad supplies, since the normal buying power of the lines is put at between 16 and 17 per cent of America’s total buying power. Railroads in normal times take 25 per cent of the country’s bituminous coal for their own use, 20 per cent of its oil and timber, 17 per cent of its iron and steel. A million Americans own railroad bonds, and 800,000 own railroad stocks. In December, 1932, stocks of American railroads listed on the New York Stock Exchange amounted to 9 per cent of the market value of all stocks listed. On the same date, railroad bonds amounted to 47 per cent of all bonds listed, excluding government bonds. There is another way in which a majority of Americans have a direct, if involuntary, interest in the plight of the railroads. Plight Affects Millions Fifty million holders of life insurance policies, and 13,000,000 savings bank depositors are concerned, since these depositories hold onefourth of the total issue of rail securities.

Sam J|li? *111: JPjflli* jrapJif ill ifH HPi HI 4. :

Today all these millions of Americans, directly and indirectly affected by the conditions of the carriers, are taking it on the chin. They have a real grievance. The railroads are deeply in the red. Freight handled in 1932 by Class 1 roads totaled 257,00,000.000 “tonmiles.” This was the lowest total of any year since 1909. It was a decline of 25 per cent below 1931. Revenues dropped 25 per cent. Total gross was $3,150,000,000. Operating expenses were $2,419,000,000. Charges for equipment, rentals, etc., reduced the net operating income to only $324,000,000 as compared with $531,000,000 the year before. But out of this net operating income, the lines had to pay their bond interest, stock dividends and

Higher Prices Forecast for Real Estate Market

Decreased Dollar Value to Stimulate Trade, Is Belief. Decreased value of the dollar, following abandonment of the gold standard, is expected to stimulate the present increased activity in real estate, it was forecast today by J. Harry Miles, Indianapolis Heal Estate Board president. Mild boom in real estate trading has been noticeable for the last two weeks, Miles revealed, particularly in sales of small residential properties and small investment properties, such as-doubles. Miles made it clear he did not anticipate an immediate boom of startling properties in real estate. Believe Bottom Reached “However,” he said, “we feel that real estate prices have hit the bottom and have started on the upgrade. Most of the board members dealing in smaller properties report a recent picking up in business, due partly to the fact that shrewd investors believe real estate prices are bound to advance.” He said he based his prediction of further increase in trading activities on the fact that if abandonment of the gold standard decreases value of the dollar, it will take more dollars to buy real estate. “Thus, price of real estate will be advanced, and SI,OOO invested in real estate now should be worth more money with the drop in the dollar’s value,” Miles explained. Taxes Are Reduced “This is not true of articles with a set value, such as bonds, which will continue to be worth the same number of dollars, although depreciated in value.” He explained that while the price of real estate is likely to advance, there will be little change in its value. “There is a lot of difference be-

other fixed charges. And the income wasn’t enough. To pay the investing public, the railroads as a whole piled up a deficit of $200,000,000 last year, according to R. H. Aishton, president ol the American Railway Association. And that meant—again the figures are Aishton's—that no less than 80 per cent of the railroad mileage of the country failed to earn interest or fixed charges. It is this uneconomica! and dangerous condition that President Roosevelt and his group of consultants is seeking to correct. For it is clepr that to a very large extent, whether America likes it or not, the railroads’ health is America’s health. Tuesday—What is the matter with the railroads, and why?

tween the price and value of'real estate,” he said. “Many lots that are worth SIO,OOO can be bought for $5,000, or even less, now because the owner needs money and buyers have been fed. “We are getting some reduction in taxes, now, and this should have an effect in .stimulating deals, as heavy property taxes, in the past, have helped to make owning of real estate undesirable.”

GRAIN FUTURES MAKE GAINS ON BULLISH NEWS Higher Cables, Strength In Sterling Aid All Options. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. April 24.—Bullish domestic and foreign news gave grain the impetus for another rise at the opening of the Board of Trade today, wheat swinging up 18 to 18 above Saturday's close. Corn and oats likewise boomed upward at the opening. May corn rising 18 to 28 cents to lead the list of all grains. Oats was up 8 to 8 cent. Provisions were higher. Grain movements started the new week with continued strength on widespread inflation developments. A higher market at Liverpool and pronounced strength in sterling. Corn maintained a strong undertone mainly due to inflation consideration and an increased demand since lake navigation opened. Active buying in oats is on the increase.
